[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in NoVA, have your kids try out for AAU teams at younger ages and by 5th grade try out for your local FCYBL (zipcode based) teams. Those FCYBL travel teams are feeders for HS basketball.[/quote]

So is AAU a necessity?  There aren’t enough NOVA AAU teams making AAU a real obstacle.[/quote]

Not on the girls side, like you said there aren’t enough teams for every girl playing in high school to be one one. Contrary to what PP’s said about how popular basketball is around here, there are maybe 4 big clubs on the girls side in nova and some only field one team per age group. There are some one off teams, but no where near enough for every girl who plays in high school to be on an aau team. [/quote]

Basketball is very different by gender.  I think lots of athletic girls choose volleyball instead.

This. WSJ did a story recently on it.  Even though in VA they don't play HS in the same season, I assume a lot of former/potential basketball players are playing club VB in winter. Also, given popularity of swimming, particularly in the wealthier areas, that is a draw away from basketball as well.   [/quote]
